In the fall semester of 2019, Chattahoochee Technical
College welcomed 10,357 to its campuses for the start of the
academic year. The Marietta-based technical school is the
largest in the state.
The college’s fall 2019 enrollment included students from 75
Georgia counties, according to Missy Cusack, the former director
of admissions and current vice president of student affairs.
Cusack said the average age of its students is now 24 years old,
and the average has gotten younger every year since 2011.
“Even Georgia’s youngest citizens are understanding the value
of a technical education,” she said.
The college’s Marietta campus at 980 South Cobb Drive is one
of six locations. At the start of the fall 2019 semester, it enrolled
about 4,000 students, according to the school.
The North Metro campus in Bartow County has about 3,000
students, and the Paulding campus has just under 1,000 students.
More than 700 students registered for classes at the Canton
campus, and another 600 registered for classes at the Woodstock
campus. Nearly 600 more enrolled at the Mountain View campus
in Cobb County, and 570 were enrolled at the Appalachian
campus in Pickens County.
The college reported that online registration has also grown
with “many students taking at least one online course.”
Online programs available at Chattahoochee Tech include accounting,
business management, business technology, marketing
management and logistics and supply chain management.
“Chattahoochee Tech provides a high quality, easily accessible
college education at a fraction of the cost of other area colleges
and universities,” Cusack said. “The college awards certificates,
diplomas and associate degrees in more than 50 programs of
study through traditional classroom courses as well as online
training. We also provide the community with learning opportunities,
including customized workforce training, adult literacy
and continuing education programs.”
